Timing Chain, V12 = $$$$$$$$$$$$

[pcmaher]

Holy Cow! I got a quote back from my favorite supplier for the parts and tools needed to change the timing chain in my Beast. The parts total to $750.00, and the tools will cost $870! The chain itself is only $174.00...it's all the other stuff you need that increases the cost. This is quite a bit more than I anticipated. I have to keep remembering that this is cheap compared to what will happen if the chain lets go. My financial planner (wife) is going to flip! I'll have to negotiate this carefully. I'm wondering if there are any other V12 owners out there that need to change their timing chain as well.

Plan A, I'd be more than willing to share the cost of the tools and the tools with anyone interested. Any takers? The more there are to share, the less we each have to pay.

Plan B, does anyone know if and/or where these tools can be rented?
